When Jacksonville socialite Athalia Ponsell Lindsey moved into her home on Marine Street in St. Augustine, Florida, she was met with a neighborhood that wanted to push her out. After on-going feuds with some of her neighbors, Lindsley was murdered on her doorstep on January 23, 1974. Her murderer was never convicted. This week we sit down and speak to author Elizabeth Randall who researched this mysterious death in this beautiful city. Randall will share her thoughts on the murder, the City of St. Augustine, teaching high school English, and her own father's murder that remains unsolved today as well.

Thank you for listening!
